A CHINESE BLUE AND WHITE PEAR-SHAPED VASE

KANGXI 1662-1722

The body rising from a tall spreading foot to a flared rim, painted with two scholars seated by the shore of a river gazing at the moon and distant mountains, with another figure sitting on a sampan beneath trees, all below bands of swirls and simple circles, 21.5cm.
